A Cure for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

 

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disease which affects the large intestine (colon). It can cause cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation. Many people can control their symptoms by managing diet, lifestyle and stress. Jade talks about how she controlled her symptoms through dietary changes in this video.

Healthier Eats: Banán

Matt Hong, one of the co-founders of Banán, tells us how it all got started.  For those of you who don’t know,  Banán is a healthier alternative to ice cream or frozen yogurt made from bananas!  It is a great option for those of us who are lactose-intolerant and much more nutritious!

Healthier Eats: ‘Ai Love Nalo

This is the first episode in my series of “Healthier Eats”!  In this episode, I feature ‘Ai Love Nalos in Waimanalo.  Owner Malia Smith talks about how the restaurant got started and what makes it so successful in this video:

Malia and her husband decided to open up the restaurant in Waimanalo to serve healthy food to an underserved population.  They wanted to encourage healthy eating to bring down the rising rates of diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic disease.  They try to offer delicious plant-based versions of local food in their restaurant.  In addition to offering nourishing food, they also have yoga and cooking classes on site.  Please go to ailovenalo.com for more information!  Please check the restaurant at:  41-1025 Kalanianaole Hwy,Waimanalo, HI,United States.

Soon they will be brewing kombucha in their restaurant!!
